Vegas Bound

gearjammer · Feb 8, 2016

Will be going to Vegas this weekend for a soccer tournament for my kids. I plan I bringing my Etrac in case I find a little free time. Has anyone detected around there or have any info you might share?

The guys I know there, that attempt to find anything old (older than the 1940s/50s neighborhood sprawl schools/parks) have to drive FAR into the desert to ghost towns. Because anything in Las Vegas itself (go figure) that dates to it's earlier beginnings, is obviously covered with asphalt .

Makes sense it's in Henderson, never been down there so maybe just leave it home and spend spare time at the bar. Lol

My friend said there's actually a club there. But , after attending a meeting or two, got the feeling it more just retirees with RV's (who carry their detectors on travels), or local yocals who just ply for modern jewelry (sandboxes, swim beaches, etc..). And not hardcore relicky old coin kinda hunters.

I would think the local parks would be productive. The last time I was there I wished I had my detector. Good luck!

Try outskirts of Goodsprings, off 1-15, at Goldstrike casino,gd.lk.

i know a place were they just remove some very old houses, but hard to get permission, if interested contact me and ill get you to the people you need to ask for, then we will have lots of land to cover inside the city. or the gold strike area some one mention is a good place too.

If you have the time, IMO it would be best to stop at the 'ghosts' on the way south to Vegas.
There are many on the Calif./Nevada border; from Pahrump north.
